What is the Normal Recovery Time from a Pacemaker Operation?

The normal recovery time from a pacemaker operation is typically 1 to 2 weeks.

During this time, you will likely experience some discomfort and fatigue, but you should gradually feel better each day.

Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for yourself at home, including:

*  Taking any prescribed medications
*  Keeping the incision site clean and dry
*  Avoiding strenuous activity

You may need to follow up with your doctor for checkups to ensure that the pacemaker is working properly.

Most people are able to return to their normal activities within a few weeks.

However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully to ensure a full recovery.
